Camogli Italy. Best kept secret of Italian Riviera. Discover Camogli’s laid-back charm near Genoa.

Camogli, Italy stars in this travel vlog about the Italian Riviera and one of Liguria’s prettiest villages along the coast near Genoa and Portofino. Camogli Italy on the Italian Riviera will charm you with its beauty and dreamy setting by the turquoise sea. Camogli is a small coastal village with a history intricately tied to the sea.
This Italy travel guide takes you to Camogli’s location on a pebbled beach between Genoa and Portofino, where its dramatic position hugs the Portofino National Park. Pretty Camogli, Italy is a secret that Italians have kept to themselves. You don’t see too many foreign tourists on this part of the Italian Riviera. Unlike Santa Margherita and Portofino, there are no designer stores, celebrities, or super-yachts. Camogli is decidedly low key in a very charming way.
Camogli Italy translates to houses of wives — a meaningful name for a village where women ran the village while their spouses were out for long periods at sea on naval missions or fishing industry.
In Camogli, the tall, colorful homes at the seafront across from the beach reach taller and stack closer than the buildings in most Ligurian villages. So, it was easier for the Italy Riviera villagers to spot the of sails of the boats returning home.
Our absolute favorite restaurant in Camogli is ‘La Camogliese’. The restaurant rises from the beach on a tall pedestal and looks out over the sea. Try the swordfish and pistachio pasta. Or the octopus salad. Or the fried anchovies. We asked Maurizio, the owner and manager, to tell us the story of this marvelous place on the Italy riviera.
Charming Camogli’s small harbor is home to many traditional Ligurian fishing boats, called gozzos. The wooden gozzo arrived in Liguria Italy several centuries ago, introduced from the east into the Mediterranean by the Arabs. Local builders perfected the construction of the gozzos along the Liguria Italian coast to reflect the characteristics of local fishing.
Another way to describe Camogli is vertical. A steep staircase connects the promenade and the next street over. Camogli’s hamlets and neighboring villages link together by a cross-cross of steep footpaths. This means Camogli is a great place to find amazing views out into the Golfo Paradiso - Paradise Bay. In this travel guide we’ll give you to a few of the best views on the Italian Riviera that you can reach from Camogli. Including the views from San Rocco and Panorama point.
Our travel vlog also takes you to the pride of Liguria, Pasta Fiorella across from the beach on the main walkway in Camogli. The fresh pasta shop is named after the owner, Fiorella, who has owned this shop since 19XX and has been making the amazing pasta ever since. Fiorella runs the fresh pasta shop with her children and her sister. They are open 364 days a year, closing only on the day after Xmas for a family meal. Fiorella also serves to-go pasta meals.
From this tiny, but hard working Liguria harbor, the ferry departs for Liguria San Fruttuoso, a beautiful abbey set in a secret bay on the Italian Riviera. San Fruttuoso Italy Riviera is one of the best things to do in Liguria a definite top ten of Italy.
As we walk past the harbor after the ride to San Fruttuoso Italy toward the lighthouse, we see a bit of Liguria Italy fishing history. In this travel guide, you’ll visit the defunct public cauldron that was once used to dye fishing nets made from cotton fibre.
We’ll end our quick tour of this pretty little fishing village with a visit to the Focacceria Revello. Revello’s focaccia is among the best in Liguria. Focaccia is a staple of Liguria Italy and always better when it’s still warm. So our advice is to only buy focaccia if it’s just out of the oven. Ask for a ‘focaccia appena sfornata’.
